“I’m satisfied that we don’t have to have a manhunt out there right now. Let’s deal with what we have now and unless things take a turn, then we’re pretty confident that we have people who can have valuable information we need to bring this to a successful conclusion,” Ramsey told the station.

Police have been focused on the search since the three siblings, ages 7 to 15, were killed Friday and their mother critically injured.

The men fled on foot after crashing a stolen vehicle Friday at a corner where the family was selling fruit for a church fundraiser.

Two other women were injured, including a real estate agent carjacked at gunpoint about a mile away. She was ordered into the back seat of her Toyota 4Runner as the men sped through North Philadelphia. Police believe they may have blown a tire before crashing the vehicle.

The children’s mother, 34-year-old Keisha Williams, remained hospitalized in critical condition. Police have identified her slain children as 15-year-old Keiearra Williams, 10-year-old Thomas Reed and 7-year-old Terrence Moore. The family’s 65-year-old friend was struck and injured as she tried to jump out of the way at the fruit stand.
